Item Description
The brilliant debut LP by Los Yetis, the most popular rock & roll/beat/garage band in
1960s Colombia. Unavailable on vinyl since its 1966 release, the album is packed with
thrilling covers (Beatles, Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders, Los Brincos, Little
Anthony & The Imperials.) sung in Spanish and the band's own garage beat nugget 'Ya
no te aguanto más'. Presented in facsimile artwork and pressed on 180g vinyl.
Although many people would only think of tropical genres when discussing Colombian
music or Discos Fuentes, there is much more to it than that. In the mid-60s, following
the massive success of Los Teen Tops, Los Apson or Los Rockin' Devils in the Latin
world, Los Yetis were signed to Discos Fuentes as part of the bunch of new bands
included on their "14 impactos juveniles" compilation, as an attempt to reach a new
audience very much interested in the rock & roll sounds imported from the States. A
great promotional effort resulted in a huge success for the release and Los Yetis were
soon invited to record their own debut album, this self-titled LP reissued here for the
first time. As the opening track of the album starts to play, we can only imagine the
Colombian youth dancing with excitement to this new rock & roll music as hard as
they would dance to their local rhythms. No wonder that Los Yetis' take on the Little
Anthony & The Imperials hit 'Shimmy Shimmy Ko Ko Bop' is at least as effective on
the dancefloor as the original. Most of the album is devoted to thrilling cover versions
(Beatles, Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders, Los Brincos.), but as we approach the
last grooves of the record, the wild guitars and raw vocals of a no te aguanto más' set
the party on fire! That irresistible garage beat track is not only the standout song but
also the only original by Los Yetis on the entire album. However, another local band,
Los Ampex, has to be credited for playing the instruments on these recordings, as
brothers Juancho and Iván Darío López and Juan Nicolás Estela, the original members,
were rather a vocal trio than a skilled band.
